ABOUT TLG

An alumni meeting held at St Patricks’ in Karen was the first activity this year.

TLG officials, Alumni, together with TLG Chicago Liaison Dr. Kenya Grooms and TLG Kenya Liaison Sr. Alice engaged in discussions that focused on improving and enhancing TLG Alumni engagement and services.

TLG second event was on 2nd February. It was a follow up workshop from Leading with Integrity Conference. This was held in partnership with, Executive Leadership Network (ELNET) at Tangaza University College. Dr. Tim Kiruhi, International Leadership Foundation Director

and ELNET Coordinator facilitated the workshop with team members.

A key take out and summary of the workshop, is a quote by Delanyo Adadevoh. “A society cannot rise above the character of its

leaders” hence the need to elect ethical leaders who uphold integrity.

TLG held several product development meetings in January and February facilitated by Stanley Gichobi of WYLDE International. This encompassed many learning

and insightful moments that has been vital in the roll out of coaching program and improvement of our services.

In partnership with Transformational Leadership, TLG held a 3 day Transformational Leadership Seminar. The opportunity increased TLG’s network and impact as leaders from different sectors in the society gathered together to learn and reflect on becoming transformational leaders and their legacy as a result.
